Whoopsies! Started this ride way too late. Should have gone on a
much shorter ride. Ended up coming home in the dark. Like "headlights on and
invisible to cars" dark. Oh well. It was an excellent ride, including two
very much back roads.

Holding to a philosophy of riding whenever the weather permits, I
am learning something about myself. I really really enjoy the feeling of
being out on the road pumping the pedals. The beautiful landscape, the
physical challenge, the attention to breathing, all make me very happy.
And yet, I find that I have a certain reluctance to get on the saddle.
I don't think the word "laziness" describes it adequately, although
it would be easy to use that word. I think it may be a desire to do
all the other things that I could be doing, e.g. blogging, or reading,
or surfing the web.
